First my home water filtration system breaks down, they changed the adaptor plug and reminded me that the filters were due for a change. That cost me $318! Then the pump started giving problems and it was another $193!

Now my PC monitor is showing signs of a breakdown! I have to hit it a few times before it comes on!!!

It has been a roller coaster ride for me all throughout the year! The high and the lows, the twists and turns well how very interesting a year it has been.

I got promoted, and with it came tons of work and assignments. I found and lost a mate (slmy), well not unexpected but will still cherish the memories. Oh and how can I forget, forging new friendships with the 30s crowd which always bring a smile.

The Vertical Marathon, the company off-site, the brisk walk, the dance classes and a whole lot of adventures I blogged about throughout the year!

Oh and in case you were wondering, I had to buy a new phone cos if you didn’t read the update they wanted $274 for the repairs. And Yes I’m still recovering from a severe chest congestion.

I must say we were pleasantly surprise at the wonderful service accorded to us by the staff of Botak Jones Woodgrove. You see I had ordered lunch and two Oreo Cheesecakes for desert to be served later. However midway through lunch, we were told that they had run out of Oreo Cheesecakes and requested to know if they could substitute them with other flavours. We declined their offer as we were were already full, besides we were looking forward to the Oreo Cheesecakes only. Then at the end of our meal they served us complimentary cheesecakes! Mango & Chocolate flavoured. They manage to Wow! us.

Why are we waiting ? Why? Why? Why?

Homemade Lime & Sour Prune and Iced Lemon Tea!

Chicken Caesar Salad

Beef Hotdog Set

My half eaten Botak Burger with an extra egg…

Look Dad I’m eating my veggies…

Me Too!….See…

Mango Cheesecake

Chocolate Cheesecake

Personalised Bill..see my name? *chuckles*

Wonder what look Kenan is going for?? (Causeway Point.)

Say Zeesh!

We know his a fake! Since when presents come with an installment plan?

Well literally speaking since I have been running a fever of 38 degrees and higher. And it all started on Christmas Eve! Well I plodded through Christmas, and just went to see a doctor this morning. Gave me a whole bunch of drugs i.e. 5 different pills and a bottle of cough syrup.

*yawns* Feeling a little drowsy from the medication….off to bed I go….will be back

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
